- Food database is probably a quarter of what is available on MyFitnessPal, definitely needs expansion and improvement. Units are inconsistently available between foods, and some food "color rating" doesn't make sense. I've noticed numerous discrepancies/inaccuracies when scanning food, such as calorie count being off by 10 or yogurt being "red." Noom should work to become MFP and/or Fitbit compatible for this feature ASAP.
- Macro tracking non-existent, even though around week 5 Noom makes a recommendation to modify macros to favor extra protein. Macro Tracking is available on free MyFitnessPal. Noom should work to become MFP and/or Fitbit compatible for this feature ASAP.
- App compatibility needs improvement. Would be great to be able to import food log from MFP. Can use Fitbit for step tracking but does not import exercise tracking or food log.
- Psychology and habit building tips are great, but without the rest of the app being filled out as noted above, leaves wanting and would definitely be upset if I had paid full price for this.
- Coach aspect is OK, adds a level of accountability that not everyone can get from their social circle IRL. Accountability to those In-Real-Life can't be beat, but this is an OK substitution.
- Group aspect is OK, somewhat adds accountability. User interface/organization could be improved. Chat kind of floods and isn't very organized.
- I would recommend to friends if they are looking for tips on building better habits, understanding the psychology behind weight loss, etc. I would not recommend to friends as a good way to track calories, macros, or exercise. If I could import food and exercise easily from other apps, the experience would be greatly improved, but as a standalone app, I am disappointed at the experience vs. the list price. Offered at the 70% discount, I am a satisfied customer and feel like I am getting what I paid for.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
